Hello,
I got this problem fixed. I used the msi installer for Apache
instead of the full download, I have Windows XP pro.
I also uninstalled IIs because I wasn't ready to deal with
manual start on port 8080, so I didn't choose developer.
Also added c:\PHP to my Path statement. So this worked
with PHP5.04 ; MySQL 5.0 beta ; and Apache 2.0.54
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Apache/Installing-PHP-under Windows/
LoadModule php5_module php5apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
1. Make sure that you have a valid php.ini in your windows directory.
OR (Per the tut the 'php.ini' can be installed in the
'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2' folder. This works fine.)
2. copy libmysql.dll to the system32 directory
(php_mysql.dll would not load without doing this)
3. set the extension_dir in php.ini to the ext directory of your PHP
installation directory (like e.g. extension_dir=C:\php5\ext)
4. enable the MySQL extension in php.ini by uncommenting the line
extension=php_mysql.dll
5. Restart Apache Server
I think that installation web tutorial is well written.
Don't forget to restart your apache server and refresh
the browser; getting the syntax right calls for attention.

Wound up using the msi installer download which I think is up to version 2.0
available from Microsoft.
